The color of bland oatmeal plup has to be one of my favorites.
75% cotton & 25% wool makes for doughy stitches and plump lace, pretty much everything I need.
Well, maybe just a few more cute pens and milky pinks.

old hat
I’m starting 2016 in kind of a bland humdrum haze. I’m not feeling sour or grumpy, in fact I feel really at peace and happy (just not creatively stirred).
Not that I want to feel like a ruffled hot mess at all the prospects of the new year, but cripes starting it stale ..working off the tame everyday need to do list, instead of the tingly I WANT TO DO THIS RIGHT NOW list ..kind of meh.
Trying to keep productive, I’m using these grey uninspired moments as the perfect time to fall into my routine makes ..apparently hats, sandwich suppers and slowly ticking off the birthday knit and custom order lists are my go to things. My name is Amanda and I rarely wear hats but I am a pathological hat maker.
Soft Marl.
Moone Boy.
Little Honeybear.
Tensfield Organic.
Oh, on a completely off subject note, because I must be having a vitamin deficiency or something, for the first time in my life, I ordered 16 lbs of fruit off the T.V. (WHAT?!?) ..dang you QVC and your Honeybell Oranges!

Remake of an old favorite the LaMar Hat.
A little red & white scratchy Knitting,
making a new favorite the Harper Hat.
Started making this cowl twice, such a lovely pattern Siesta, but I just can’t seem to find the perfect yarn :( which stinks because now I’m pissy with it ..double :((
..I think I may need sparkle!?!
Made another Fade (twice actually, once ripped) that’s why the yarn is already wound up double, I didn’t like the cream at the brim or the 1 x 1 rib. I just kept thinking how grimy gross a cream brim would get and the cream totally highlighted my crappy 1 x 1 ribbing.
Much better with a dark “can’t tell it’s dirty” brim in 2 x 2 rib, but I’m still not feeling it, although it was deliciously soft in an alpaca bamboo blend!
Over dyed blue, better, but still just alright.
